PMP Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (DIN 912), available in sizes ranging from M3 to M12 and lengths from 5mm to 40mm, are manufactured from Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMP), commonly known as acrylic. These screws feature a hex socket drive and a cylindrical head, providing secure fastening with a clean and precise aesthetic. PMP is characterised by its excellent optical clarity, high impact resistance, and UV stability, making these screws ideal for applications where transparency and durability are crucial. Additionally, PMP offers good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption, ensuring the screws maintain their integrity in various environments.

Metric Size (M) – M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12

Length (mm) – 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

Advantages of Using PMP Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (DIN 912):

Optical Clarity: The transparency of PMP makes these screws ideal for applications where visual appeal and visibility are important.

High Impact Resistance: PMP offers excellent toughness, allowing the screws to withstand impacts without cracking or breaking.

UV Stability: The material is resistant to UV radiation, preventing yellowing and degradation over time, which is essential for outdoor applications.

Chemical Resistance: PMP screws resist a range of chemicals, including mild acids and alkalis, ensuring durability in chemically aggressive environments.

Low Moisture Absorption: The low moisture absorption rate helps maintain the screws' mechanical properties and clarity in humid or wet conditions.

Lightweight: The screws are significantly lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to handle and reducing the overall weight of assemblies.

Specific Applications of PMP Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (DIN 912):

Electronics and Display Panels:

Used in securing components within transparent or semi-transparent electronic enclosures, where the clarity and non-conductive properties are beneficial.

Ideal for fastening display panels and screens in electronic devices, including monitors and advertising displays.

Architectural and Interior Design:

Applied in the assembly of transparent fixtures and fittings, providing an unobtrusive fastening solution that enhances the overall aesthetic.

Suitable for use in glass or acrylic structures, where visibility and a clean appearance are important.

Lighting Fixtures:

Employed in both indoor and outdoor lighting systems, where UV stability and transparency contribute to the design and longevity of the installation.

Ideal for use in decorative lighting where the fasteners are visible and should not detract from the design.

Automotive and Transportation:
